My father live near Calais and my grand parents in Compiègne, I guess that's southern Europe there too.

45N is the latitude of its southernmost point. Odessa, its southernmost oblast center, is on 46°28′N

If we look at it culturally, well obviously the nordic countries like my own is northern europe,
But there is also some kind of cultural kinship with the german speaking countries as well as the netherlands and belgium, and maybe a slight bit with the brits and baltics in different ways.
